The Sessila

The Sessila was created in a digital fabrication class using Rhino 3D with Grasshopper. Once I established the initial design in Grasshopper, I created an elaborate tabbing system in Rhino such that the 3D model could be flattened, laser cut, and attached back together. This luminaire uses an exposed construction system throughout the design and structure so that each element can be seen and celebrated. The Presentation Board that accompanied this luminaire explains the process behind the design and illustrates the original Rhino model and Grasshopper definition.
